Mango Lime Chili Salad


Mangoes are one of the most refreshing fruits and so well suited to hot summer days. As much as I enjoy eating slices of fresh mango in warm weather, the fruit also goes well dressed up in sweet, salty and spicy summer salads too. In this refreshing salad, the natural sweetness of mangoes is complemented by fresh lime juice with some heat from fresh hot chilies. It's one of the easiest salads I make, and it is best made ahead of time so the salad can sit in the refrigerate to allow the mango to marinate. Depending on how sweet your mangoes are, use more or less sugar as desired. I served the salad over mixed greens, though it could easily be served just as is, almost like a condiment.

I served this salad with chickpea flour pancakes with crispy paneer and lime pickle for a most flavorful summer meal that really required very little fuss. The sweetness of the mangoes and the tartness of the lime juice contrasted wonderfully with the pungent, sour and spicy flavor of the lime pickle. And when it is hot, the less time spent over a hot stove, the better.
